    Is there any interest in Unix Mailers which support user-editable headers
    like tops20 MM supports them?  The new exptools version of Mail doesn't
    seem to support them and I don't know of any other Unix Mailers offhand 
    that do.
    
    Note that I am not talking about editing just the to, from, cc, bcc and 
    subject fields ... I am talking about putting anything in your header which
    RFC822 will parse.
    
I have written a portable mailer called AZ.  It's very similar to Tops-20 OZ  
written by John Ellis.  AZ runs on Apollos, and Unix and VMS Vaxen at Yale and 
at several other sites.  You can edit the basic header fields (To, Cc, Bcc, 
Subject) directly using simple commands or using a full screen editor (if you
have one).  AZ doesn't support user-editing of the wide variety of possible 
header fields, but this capability would be very easy to add.
